1 1/2 cups (9 ozs.) corn meal
1/2 cup (2 ozs.) flour or barley flour 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons (1 oz.) shortening, melted
3/4 cup (1 1/2 gills) milk
Sift corn meal, flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl, add egg, shortening, and milk. Mix well and turn into a large, well-greased shallow pan, spreading thin with a knife or spoon. It should be barely one fourth of an inch thick and will come out of the oven crisp and delicious. Bake in a moderately hot oven fifteen minutes.
